This is, by far, the best interview with Elvis I’ve ever heard. Not that I’ve heard a million of them, but if you knew nothing about him you could learn a tremendous amount about the kind of person he was just from listening to this. Thank you for This!
Elvis was wise beyond his years its amazing how he handle this interview when they were swarmed around him. In todays world they wouldn't get that close to an entertainer. He was simply the best
I can't believe just how articulate and intelligently he answered all the questions back in 1957! He didn’t have any big publicity machine behind him. Beats celebrities of today anytime!
Elvis was great. Always so sincere , humble, and polite to reporters and everyone. Touring has got to be so hard. People think that Elvis had it made but he worked so hard to get where he was. His fans loved him because he treated them with kindness, respect and love.
Most humble and gorgeous and super genuine !! Elvis is more loved and worshipped than any star on earth ! Forever remembered and honored to this day 🤩⚡️🙌🏼🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a wonderful beautiful voice and don’t let me start about his looks or his charisma and singing voice . His smile is so precious it’s like a sunshine ☀️ bright and splendid and warm . Yes, he is just beautiful and wonderful.
He shows us in this interview how was really his personality. Sincere and humble he was so Young at that time and answered the questions with inteligence and paciently. He was just a King at that moment. Unforgetable forever
I would direct young people who want to go into show business to come and listen to what “sincere” sounds like ! He’s marvellous! So sad he had a tragic ending .
Это я про трагический конец. Когда я первый раз читала его биографию, мелькнула мысль что и его маме помогли уйти, чтобы не кому было ему подсказать, поддержать. И держать его крепче в жадных руках!
Great interview! He was so personable. He truly appreciated his fan base and was such a humble man. Some people tend to only remember his last couple of years and forget all of the years before. He was truly out to please his fans.
What a wonderful ,polite, articulate and humble person given his meteoric rise since June 5th 1954 and the sun studio days, it's amazing to me how he maintained his innocence and humility after the attention of the whole planet earth was upon him, that alone would overwhelm most people. I will always hold the memory of you in my heart Mr Presley.🍔❤💙
A one stop shop for Austin Butler to study Elvis' voice here I think. You can really hear what he went for in this particular interview. Great channel.
They ask multiple issue questions and then butt in on his answers. 🙁 All in all though this is a great piece of Elvis history. Love to hear him so patient and polite, with his smooth wonderful voice. 🤗
Me too!! I love him so much although I only recently became aware of Elvis last year after seeing the movie. I have never been the same since & have been seeking out everything about Elvis on TH-cam ever since. I would say I’m completely obsessed & in love with him long after his departure. So sorry & sad about that
@@rosalies4674 I know exactly how you feel. But don`t be sorry, Rosalie, be happy that you`ve discovered him :) Once you fall in love with Elvis, it will be forever. Welcome to the best fan club, my friend. You couldn`t have found a better group to belong to❤ We all feel the same love as you for a man who gave so much in such a short time. He fulfilled everything that God intended him to do. And because he did it so well, he was allowed to leave much earlier than most of us. Take care, my friend, and enjoy the ride :)
@11:59 love this part of interview, Anita Wood, ELVIS #1 girl, 1957❤️ so many reporters at the same time lol 🤗they seemed to enjoy ELVIS, I think they were fans also 😊 6-18-22
This is definitely Elvis when he was 22 years old. Great to hear this press interview. Today's entertainers need to take a leaf out of his book. He is so well mannered.
Way more mature , patient polite, authentic, gentlemanly. at a young age until his image departure than any celebrity or entertainer up to the present. A stellar stand-out…a one of a kind stand alone. Never ever to be duplicated. GOD blessed the world with this man. We will soon find out exactly what a “hero” and The Marvel this man truly was…. And is. Unrivaled Gratitude , Elvis. Abundant Blessings …. How great thou art. All praise and glory to GOD on high…🙏🏻💝🌎🇺🇸
He sounds tired. Very tired. His response time is greater, here. Wants to do this interview, but seems to want to keep his life private. Sweet, kind voice. A well-mannered man, respects everyone unless and until he is crowded to an extreme. ❤️
Wow, his interviews are so interesting - brilliant answering. He is so cute, you just want to hug him. Can' t get enough of hearing him laugh, and speak. Young people of today could learn so much of him. Sooner or later they will find him. Thanks very much - loved it.
Not in Vancouver, he’s asked what he thinks of the Pacific Northwest to which he replied it’s beautiful country up here. Anyway whatever year this interview took place Elvis’ candour, humour and respectful nature to those around him is something to behold. An amazing human being the likes of which we’ve not seen since. RIP
I had this back on an 8-track tape in the 1970s, soon after his passing. There has been some editing. It was actually longer. He went into detail about the type of sacred music he like the most and explained the difference between gospel and spirituals. That got snipped in this recording.
Interesting. I wondered why an unrelated interview question cut in so abruptly just after he'd answered 'spirituals'. I would have loved to hear him talk about that music in more detail. Do you remember anything of what he said?
@@spritzalicious9937 Well, he basically explained to the reporter the difference between "gospel" (written songs) and spirituals (very old songs with unknown writers). In other words, although he didn't say it in these words, spirituals are folk music; gospel is not. He totally understood it. Not sure the reporter did.
@@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia Thanks so much for replying. That's awesome to know. I'm new-ish to Elvis, and watched a doco recently about his relationship to gospel music. Some of the musicians interviewed (people he'd played with) also said he knew a lot about gospel. They gave the impression Elivs was a voracious listener - kind a music nerd, I guess (I'm meaning this as a compliment). : )
He never puts anyone down and really have respect for everyone! He's honest, humble and polite... At this point he had just bought Graceland and he made sure his parents and his relatives were looked after! He wanted to bring them all out of poverty and take care of them. What a success story! Elvis really wanted to help others and did a lot for his community, he's such a great example for others today, there are not many people like him around... Elvis was against discrimination of any kind and cared a lot about about the civil rights movement. Its strange to think that in his lifetime society really became so much more equal at so many levels and now we are letting all that progress unravel.
Saddens me very much he never got to Europe , apart from the Army when he went to Germany , his movements were restricted for anywhere else he said he wanted to go to Africa was his dream but he never got to do it and now he will never do it , so sad for him
@@knowmusicman157 No, your right it was parkers fault elvis never met his potential in the movies , and that he never went to Europe to tour as he was an illegal immigrant , had elvis toured parker would never have let him go that far without him and then he would never have got back in the country again
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 I had a friend that was in basic training army with E. My friend was an actor and singer. His CO begged E to perform like other entertainers. He said no because the Col. Wouldn't let him.
@@knowmusicman157 and that jst goes to show the level of control parker had over elvis , dictating wat he did and where he went yet at the end of the day elvis was paying his wages and not the other ways around. parker was an illegal immigrant NOT an American but a dutchman he had no visa had he let elvis tour outside the U.S and parker went with him he would have never have been able to go as he would not get back into the country and we all know the control he wanted to have over elvis he wasn't going to be very far from where elvis was, so that meant he was never going to let elvis tour outside the U.S !!! parker stifled elvis didn't allow him to show his true acting prowess elvis had creative disappointment that contributed to his downfall!!
@@knowmusicman157 Elvis did an interview and he himself said it was to much he would have to do like bring his band, Instruments over so he said he just couldn't do it so your friend isn't telling you the truth, but he wouldn't be the first to make up lies about him
Elvis vacationed quite a few times in Hawaii. Never left the USA Except for these tour stops in Canada and his time in the Military. It’s too bad he was never able with his $Millions to explore the World. He was extremely well read. It is said that his grueling schedule was simply because he felt responsible to support so many close to him. An extremely stand up man that should have been a little bit more selfish and rightfully so.
I think some things could be ablessing in disguise. He was still bigger without setting foot outside of America, Hawaii n Canada. 2023 and we are still hearing his music todate.❤😁
Listening to Elvis, talking about acting, it's such a shame he never got the chance to explore that career. In a way the fans are partly to blame, Elvis didn't get the opportunity to try it as a serious actor. The two movies that required serious acting and hardly any singing, Flaming Star and Wild in the country, didn't do well at the box office. The movie that came after these two, Bleu Hawaii, on the other hand, was a box office smash hit. After these three movies, it was clear in what direction Elvis movies would go.
I thought King Creole was Elvis’ best movie, and I consider that it would have been even better if there were less songs - and better still if it featured no songs, if they truly wanted to develop his acting career. I thought Flaming Star was his second best movie, and followed very closely was Kid Galahad. Kid … was released after Blue Hawaii. I’m making some calculated guesses that when they found that Girls, girls, girls in 1962 was so successful, combined with Blue Hawaii earlier, Colonel Parker decided to put Elvis into the can. Since both Blue Hawaii [we know that this was Elvis’ biggest hit movie] and Girls, girls, girls made more money than either Wild in the County, Follow that dream, or Kid Galahad, the decision was made to focus more on Elvis’ music than his acting. Those soundtracks from his movies starting with Girls, girls, girls showed an increase in poor songs as well. {Viva Las Vegas was probably his best movie during those slack years}. When Elvis was about to make his comeback, his movies were superior than the previous ones; but, by this time, the fans had enough of the mediocrity and supported him less. “Money, honey, if you want to get along with me …”. By the way, I thought Wild in the Country was so bad that Elvis couldn’t redeem it. Anyway, this is just my opinion, not from some famous movie critic.
@@sandysexton6570 ,I absolutely adored Wilf in the Country. He portrayed the character very well, and it was dramatic in terms of the characters, situations, and even the settings. It was something new that they wouldn't allow him to do again. Comedy just seemed more popular from him than drama. He excelled at both.
@@sandysexton6570 listening to Austin Butler his opinion Elvis before jointing Army did some good movies.After 1960 the producers were not making money because his fans want to see him singing.
This was early Elvis. At the time, he wasn't too sure of himself and what he could do. But over the years the world sure did discover what he could do, didn' t it?
There is a wide concensus that supports the idea that Elvis movies stink. I've seen 29 out of 31. I can only name 3 or 4 that were not too good. Paradise Hawaiian Style, Easy Come Easy Go, Harum Scarum, Double Trouble
I think they all give joy to whoever is watching them; I think that is the most important criteria of all, the one that counts the most. Forget all your problems and get lost in an Elvis movie.
I could hear all the girls screaming from the Forum Building......we lived about 6 blocks away and I was close to 6 years old at the time. BTW the Forum Bldg. still stands......
It's amazing that he didn't regard himself as a good ballad singer. He was wonderful at it and so many other genres. There was an interview he had where he spoke of his favorite band. I forget if he did the interview in the 1950s or early 1960s. The interview was before the Beatles. The band played instumentals only, no singing. I wish I could come across that one again.
If you talked to elvis in person back then. Would his voice sound clear like this? Because some of the audio and movies that are Monotone and static audio elvis voice seems to appear much higher instead of deep. If so I'm impressed. It's soo clear.
I've heard Elvis say on more than one occasion that he was very shy and anxious. He said his voice always goes high when he gets nervous. He said he had trouble talking to people because it caused him anxiety. He always thought he might say something stupid and so that was one of the reasons he had the Memphis Mafia, so they could always chime in.
He was still very young and everything was happening at rapid speed with his career. The interviewers were just in awe of this great guy. They definitely made him feel at ease, they genuinely liked him, I think he was relaxed and comfortable with this interview. 6-18-22
Interesting the interviewer with the question about recording an Extended play of Religious songs was completely unaware of his Peace in the Valley extended play which was released 4 months prior to this.
@@beautifulinsideout5258 But he was a big star throughout the whole south. I wonder sometimes what would have happened without Parker. He would have had his career, but it might have happened more slowly. He might have absorbed everything happening to him better.
This is, by far, the best interview with Elvis I’ve ever heard. Not that I’ve heard a million of them, but if you knew nothing about him you could learn a tremendous amount about the kind of person he was just from listening to this. Thank you for This!
You can tell the reporters really liked him. Me too.
They ask him about retirement 😢 How I wish that would’ve been an option.
He never gives himself enough credit. So humble.

What a beautiful human I love you Elvis take notes this is how you do interviews people
Elvis was fantastic in this interview! So polished and well-spoken for his age, answering all the questions being fired at him. Wow.
Ive always preferred Elvis" ballads. I always tear up on the sad ones. He had so much soul.

Always so respectful tp people no matter what they asked, he was never rude or boastful, perfect gentleman.

Great interview! He was so personable. He truly appreciated his fan base and was such a humble man. Some people tend to only remember his last couple of years and forget all of the years before. He was truly out to please his fans.
That's such a shame too. He was so much more than his last few years. His want to satisfy his fans overwhelmed him.
Great interview! So polite

What a different & better world it was in 1957. What would Elvis think of today's world ?

There is a wide concensus that supports the idea that Elvis movies stink. I've seen 29 out of 31. I can only name 3 or 4 that were not too good. Paradise Hawaiian Style, Easy Come Easy Go, Harum Scarum, Double Trouble
I think they all give joy to whoever is watching them; I think that is the most important criteria of all, the one that counts the most. Forget all your problems and get lost in an Elvis movie.
fantastic, my home town
I could hear all the girls screaming from the Forum Building......we lived about 6 blocks away and I was close to 6 years old at the time. BTW the Forum Bldg. still stands......
Thats an awesome story! I never thought about people blocks away hearing the commotion lol
It's amazing that he didn't regard himself as a good ballad singer. He was wonderful at it and so many other genres.
There was an interview he had where he spoke of his favorite band. I forget if he did the interview in the 1950s or early 1960s. The interview was before the Beatles. The band played instumentals only, no singing. I wish I could come across that one again.
This interview was recorded on 31 August 1957 in Vancouver.
His first love was coloured spiritual music at 11:20.thought that was interesting.
this interview actually happened in tacoma washington the very next day(sept 1) after the vancouver show!!
Nope...
Elvis faz todos os rirem com suas brincadeiras muito lindo Elvis presley forever paz no Vale!😇🤗🤗
If you talked to elvis in person back then. Would his voice sound clear like this? Because some of the audio and movies that are Monotone and static audio elvis voice seems to appear much higher instead of deep. If so I'm impressed. It's soo clear.
Yes the videos at Graceland & home movies this is what he sounded like.
I've heard Elvis say on more than one occasion that he was very shy and anxious. He said his voice always goes high when he gets nervous. He said he had trouble talking to people because it caused him anxiety. He always thought he might say something stupid and so that was one of the reasons he had the Memphis Mafia, so they could always chime in.
He was still very young and everything was
happening at rapid speed with his career.
The interviewers were just in awe of this
great guy. They definitely made him feel at
ease, they genuinely liked him, I think he
was relaxed and comfortable with this
interview. 6-18-22
Super humble man was Elvis and very kind
👑🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🌐💙🌏👑ELVIS 👑
voice so low here🔥
Meu lindo Elvis que saudade de você fica com Deus beijos te amo para sempre que saudade de você fica com Deus beijos..🎼☎️🐕🎶🙏♥️🥀♥️🚘🎊👑📺🎙🎙🎙🎸🎸
They just don’t let him speak and answer their questions!
Interesting the interviewer with the question about recording an Extended play of Religious songs was completely unaware of his Peace in the Valley extended play which was released 4 months prior to this.
They asked dumb questions allllllllll the time 🤦
6:53 lol🔥🔥🌟
Mon Dieu !! Quel magnifique bonne homme.

Here he said the only truth about his fame: "I was not known until Parker managed me." Very honest and true.
Because he was just starting out then, but Col. Parker watching the audiences' reaction to Elvis knew he was going to be a big star.
@@beautifulinsideout5258 YUP!!!!!!!
The only truth about his fame?? Never a "Parker", never a "Tom" and never a "col."
was never very honest and true to ELVIS'S
career. 6-18-22
@@Cynthia00007 I agree..CTParker is 💩..he took advantage of Elvis, Elvis was too trusting of Parker, Parker was a horrible man!💩💩
@@beautifulinsideout5258 But he was a big star throughout the whole south. I wonder sometimes what would have happened without Parker. He would have had his career, but it might have happened more slowly. He might have absorbed everything happening to him better.
elvis are canadian girls subdued ;lolhe laughs ,naw they were screaming as much as any other girl lol!good looks have no borderslol!!!
Colored spirituals from way back....
He wanted to say more about His parents but it was cut
Elvis was an Alien (no doubt)
His downfall was McDonald's
GET REAL Even Donald Trump likes to "pig out @Mckdonalds often lol
